The Guardia Civil has arrested two Spanish men, aged twenty and twenty-two, in Orihuela Costa on suspicion of drug trafficking. The arrests occurred during a routine safety operation where officers noticed a vehicle parked on the roadside. The driver exhibited signs of drug use, prompting further investigation.

Upon inspection of the vehicle, agents detected a strong odour resembling hashish. They discovered a cardboard box filled with toys, which concealed a vacuum-sealed bag of hashish and thirty vape pens labelled as containing high levels of THC. A total of one hundred and fifty grams of hashish was found, alongside nine hundred and fifty euros in cash and three mobile phones.

The vehicle used by the suspects has since been detained by police for legal procedures. The two men have been charged with drug trafficking and brought before the Juzgado de Instrucción número tres in Orihuela.

Following their court appearance, they were released on bail with precautionary measures. The authorities continue to monitor such illegal activities in the region to ensure community safety.
